| What it is | You study how to design and plan buildings and structures, learning both the creative design side and the technical skills needed to make buildings work safely and function well. This program requires you to do paid work terms at architecture firms throughout your degree, alternating with school semesters, so you graduate with real professional experience. It suits people who want hands-on learning alongside theory and are ready to balance intensive coursework with workplace responsibility. | You study both civil engineering and computer science together over five years, combining infrastructure design and construction with software and computing systems. Unlike a regular civil engineering program, you integrate computing skills throughout and complete mandatory workplace terms, alternating study and paid work. This suits students interested in how technology shapes modern infrastructure projects and who want practical work experience built into their degree. |
